Argh, my PC died last night... just in the middle of watching something and it powers down, like the power cable had been pulled out or something.
On reboot i get the dreaded "System failed due to CPU overclocking" voice post from the motherboard. I got no video, and the machine locked.
This system has been going strong for over 3 years now and has had no recent changes.
I've reset the CMOS but this seems to have made matters worse, it now powers on (no video again), i dont get any voice post message (instead i get a kind of stuttering noise) and then it automatically powers off.
I've tried swapping the RAM around and everything looks in order (CPU seated ok...)
Any Ideas?
Systems:
Asus A8V Deluxe
Athlon 3500+
Geil 1gb
9800 radeon
Thanks!
